Problems Compiling enum.h from ENUM++

[Randy]

Hi,

I downloaded and tried the ENUM++ code from CUJ

http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=8470/cujboost0306besser/

but can't even get it to compile (see following). I
have also downloaded and installed the boost library.
This is using gcc under FC3.

Any ideas on what's wrong?

#include "enum.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv)

return 0;
}

OK, I looked at the article. I did not find the link to download
the header, and so I still haven't tried it. Perhaps you can make
it easy for people to help you by pointing out the download URL (all
of them needed to replicate your problem) as well. You are asking
your readers to do too much digging.

Based on the general nature of the errors you posted, my guess is
that "enum.h" assumes some prior includes that the author probably
didn't even think much about. See if you can figure out where
"prepost" is supposed to be defined. Try #include <iostream> prior
to "enum.h" just to see if it makes any difference at all.
